I don't understand your logical chain of thought here. Why is it that saying marriage is NOT one thing necessarily means it is everything else?
Saying marriage is not just a marriage between a man and a woman is not tantamount to saying marriage is all other relationships.
If marriage is defined as a state recognized relationship between two people (except as specifically noted by statute, such as marriage to a minor or to a close relative), that encompasses a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, and a man and a man. It also doesn't require that the state recognize a marriage to a little child or to a goat. How do you get from Point A to Point B on this one?
